If it's going to happen anywhere, it will probably happen here, and that's why I'm worried -- a giant tornado sweeping across the Pacific Ocean and scooping up a school of great white sharks before depositing them over the Los Angeles basin.

Go ahead and laugh if you want but we'll see who's laughing when it's your leg being chewed off.

The Syfy network's hugely popular TV movie "Sharknado" took the nation and social media by storm, producing NFL-like ratings and presenting Southern Californians with one more thing to worry about.

Exactly how prepared is L.A. for a Sharknado? In the movie it didn't seem like we had any plan at all.

Councilman Tom LaBonge told me, "We're prepared for anything" but then admitted he hadn't actually seen "Sharknado" -- only the trailer.

As if L.A. hasn't suffered enough this past year with Carmageddon, the Dwightmare and Kim Kardashian reproducing, now this! Man-eating sharks plunging from the sky from an apocalyptic waterspout.

Fritz never said it would be like this.

Written by Thunder Levin and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, and staring Tara Reid, "Sharknado" has raised the bar on fearmongering, which is saying a lot considering we are living in the Golden Age of Fearmongering, where everything will either kill us outright, give us cancer or make us fat, which in L.A. is practically the same thing as murder.

Still, it's just possible if the global warming people are right, a giant tornado could suck ravenous sharks out of the ocean and drop them on Hollywood Boulevard, L.A. Live, and God-willing, Justin Bieber's house.

This is hardly the first time Los Angeles has been ground zero for a Hollywood catastrophe. Back in the 1950s, giant ants crawled out of L.A. River storm drains, countless alien invasions have flattened Los Angeles landmarks with death rays and laser beams, and a variety of natural disasters flicks have unleashed earthquakes and volcanoes and flattened L.A. or buried us under an ocean of lava.

While most of us worry about more mundane things like our children's future, our jobs, our health and what our retirement years will look like, it's nice to know at least someone has an eye on the big picture.

In a statement released exclusively to the Daily News in response to our request, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office said, "As our department heads reapply for their jobs, we'll be keeping a close eye on who has a Sharknado plan and who doesn't." Which comes as some comfort; however, Garcetti's office played their own fear card warning, "Mantacanes and Barraquakes are also of concern."

We may need a bigger city.
